“We’re delighted he’s got off to such a good start. The good weather at the start of the season means he’s covered more mares in the first few weeks than would normally be the case as the mares have been cycling well, so we’ve got plenty more to scan in the next few days.”

6th December - THE FIRST FOALS BY ADAAY HAVE MADE A BIG IMPRESSION AT THE SALES

With an average of over £34,000 and a host of high prices, it’s clear the son of Kodiac has a big future ahead of him.
First to make the headlines was Lot 298 bought by John Cullinan of Horsepark Stud for 55,000gns.

Another son of Adaay, Lot 579 then raised the bar further when selling to Flash Conroy of Glenvale Stud for 67,000gns.

Finally, the most likely of Adaay’s foals to receive top billing did not disappoint, as Lot 885 out of Place in My Heart, consigned by Whitsbury Manor Stud fetched 180,000gns. Sold to Jamie Railton Bloodstock, he is a half-brother to dual Group 2 winner Heartache and is destined to be re-offered at a top level sale next year.

9th November - Whitsbury Manor Stud - Stallion Fees For 2019
Ed Harper, Director of Whitsbury Manor Stud, is pleased to announce the stud fees for their stallions in 2019.

Following on from a banner year for SHOWCASING with four individual Group winning 2yo’s, including the top-class pair Advertise and Soldier’s Call he will stand next year at £55,000 SLF. Ed Harper “This reflects his fantastic results at the sales and the considerable interest we have already had, whilst continuing our plan to limit his book”.

New for 2019, Group 1 winner HAVANA GREY will stand his first season at £8,000 SLF. Ed Harper “After a clean sweep of Gr1, Gr2 and Gr3 wins over 5 furlongs he can rightly claim to be the fastest horse from the Galileo sire line which allows the perfect cross for the majority of speed-bred mares. He continues our strong tradition of standing fast commercial stallions and I can’t wait to show him off to breeders as he has the physique to match. A select number of breeding rights will be made available”.

ADAAY, standing in partnership with Shadwell Stud, has covered full books in his first two seasons. Ed Harper “We are confident his first foals will be very well received by the market but we’re also keen to offer our clients the best possible value and will therefore stand his third season at the reduced fee of £5,000 SLF.”

We look forward to the first runners by DUE DILIGENCE in 2019 where he will have a good number of representatives with top trainers of juveniles. He will stand at the reduced fee of £4,000 SLF.
